quite muddy, and
there were dozen ponds of water in
the outheld. Minneapolis won the game
as it liked, and the only wonder is that
ST Paul was not shut out. In spite of
tho fact that ST. PaulS total of errors is
pretty large, the fielding was very sharp
on both sides. and the applause of the
spectators was frequent and hearty.
Kittridge, the new ShOrtStop made his
first appearance in st. Paul. His work
was only fair, but he was evidently
nervous, and criticism of him at this
time would be unjust. WilmOt is cred
tied with his second error for the sea-
son, but 1t was an eXcuSable one, as he
had to make long run for the ball. His
Fly catches i'll the seventh and eighth in
nIngS were as pretty as ever seen on the
st. Paul grounds, and his two-base hit
in the fifth inning would have been Il
home run had not the wind retarded the
progress OF the ball. Murphy is charged
up with two errors, but one of them was
eXcuSable. His throw to the plate from
center, cutting off Murray, was a splen-
did one. Prescott shows up as having
done nothing but go to bat four times.
He badly
MISJUDGED THE HITS
driven into his field, one of which at
least should have been an out. Six of
his territory, and four of them are
scored as doubles and triples, on ac-
count of his poor Judgment and bad
throwing. If his arm is too lame to
throw the ball at least to second base,
ne should be laid off few days. Sow
derS' pitching was not bad. Ten straight
hits were made Off him, and they
counted heavily against him because
they were punched. A single and a
double were made by Minneapolis in
the first inning, two singles and double
in the second, a single and triple in
the seventh and a single and double
made besides these, that of Meis-
ter in the sixth. ST. Paul's six
bona fide hits were made in six differ
ent innings and the base on balls was
given in another. The fielding Of Min
neapOliS was generally good but two of
the three errors each let in a run
Neither side stole base during the
game, as the runners had to carry too
much mud with them for speed. a
funny incident happened in the fourth
inning. Murray tried to catch st.
Paul runner who was playing off first,
but Halves was looking at something or
somebody in the crowd and the bail
struck him Squarely in the stomach.
Had the ball been thrown wild the run
ner would have profited considerably
by it.
THE GAME
opened with st. Paul at bat. and the
first three men went out in two minutes.
For Minneapolis. HAYES was thrown
out from second to first. Patton drove
the ball to center for base and Foster
struck out. Winkleman then brought
Patton home on a double to right.
Meister hit a grounder to short, which
Kittridge threw too high for McCauley,
who, however, stopped the ball, but
failed to throw it home in time to catch
Winkleman, although he had plenty of
time. In the second inning Willis hit
to center, was advanced base on Muir
phys error and scored on Murray's
double to right. In the fourth inning
for st. Paul, Cleveland was hit by the
pitcher, and was thrown out at second
by pitcher on fielder's choice,
went out on foul tip,
McCauley took a base on balls. and
StOckwelI scored on WinkIeman's muff
of Prescott's fly to left. In the sixth i'll
ming Stockwell scored on his double to
left and an error by the second base
man, Peak allowing the ball to pass be-
tween his legs. The score now stood 8
to 2 in favor of Minneapolis, and it
looked as though st. Paul would pull
the game out after all. 1t was not to be,
however, as the home team made no
more runs. Minneapolis scored two
more in the seventh on Murphy's mutf,
Halves triple and Fosters single, and
added two more in the eighth on Peaks
single, Shaw's double and Willis out.
